Signed book: American Big–Game Hunting. First edition. NY: Forest and Stream Publishing, 1893. Hardcover, 6 x 8.5, 345 pages. Signed neatly on the first free end page in black ink by Roosevelt, who adds a lengthy inscription to Bellamy Storer, a US Representative from Ohio, dated November 1893, in full: “Do you remember sending me your subscription to the B. & C. club? (a much larger subscription than you were expected to give). Well, it was the first I r’ceived; and had it not been for the example you set I might never have been able to get out this volume at all.” Autographic condition: fine, with trivial soiling. Book condition: VG-/None, with a cracked front hinge. Founded in 1887 by Theodore Roosevelt and George Bird Grinnell, the Boone and Crockett Club championed the hunting principles of the ‘fair chase,’ helped revive a once-decimated buffalo population at Yellowstone, and successfully promoted the expansion and protection of national parks—key pieces of Roosevelt’s legacy.
